CompHealth — Your Career, Your Way with Purpose & Flexibility

1. Company Snapshot

CompHealth, part of CHG Healthcare (one of the largest healthcare staffing networks in the U.S.), was founded in 1979 and pioneered the locum tenens industry. Today, it serves over 140 specialties across permanent placements, locum tenens, travel, telehealth, and medical missions. With its scale and deep relationships, CompHealth connects you with opportunities most never see on job boards.

2. Culture & Gen Z Alignment

Relationship-First Approach

Despite being a large agency, CompHealth prides itself on personalized recruiter support and strong provider relationships. “I appreciate everything CompHealth has done to ensure I have the most positive experience,” said a physician after winning the 2025 Best of Staffing Talent award.

Real Talk: The Other Side

Feedback includes occasional frustration about high-pressure environments or recruiter mismatches. One physician said recruiters “earn, but sometimes don’t back up locum doctors,” and some found communication around assignments to fall short.

3. Career Paths & Opportunities

Locum Tenens & Travel Healthcare: Assignments in every state, pick where and when you work, from short-term fills to longer-term contracts.
Permanent Placements & Telehealth: Flexible opportunities for providers who want stability—or a hybrid of flexibility and routine.
Support Across Specialties: Roles span medical, nursing, allied health, telehealth, missions, and even healthcare leadership.

4. Employee Feedback Highlights

What Gen Z Will Appreciate:

“They take care of you… helpful with moving and housing.” - Physician Assistant
“Very professional and organized… reimburses all licensing and travel expenses.” - Physical Therapist
Recruiters are often described as compassionate, responsive, and aligned with your goals.

Caveats to Know:

Some report unclear communication, especially around what the recruiter knows or doesn’t share about the assignment.
As with most high-volume staffing roles, the experience can vary by recruiter or assignment.

5. Compensation & Benefits Snapshot

Compensation & Perks

Locum roles often offer higher net pay than full-time positions once you factor in perks like paid licensure, housing, travel, malpractice coverage, and weekly pay.
Sales roles (e.g., Sales Consultants) can range from $60K to $235K a year, depending on skills and location.

Benefits That Matter to Gen Z

Day-One Benefits for allied/advanced healthcare providers, including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with 50% match on the first 8%, life insurance, telehealth, EAP counseling, and PerkSpot discounts.
Coverage extends to spouses/partners and dependents up to age 26 (or beyond in certain cases). Benefits remain intact with assignment gaps under 31 days.

Genuine Support: Recruiters who actively listen and follow through.
Transparent Perks: Real benefits from Day One, including financial and mental health tools.
